It’s ok. We tried a variety: Carne asada tacos: meat was kinda bland,my wife’s taco had burned bits. Chicken tacos: bland, no flavor really at all Shrimp tacos: my favorite of the three, but that’s not saying much. Carne asada quesadilla: my son said the one from Taco Bell is as good. Asada fries: crinkle cut frozen fries with mozzarella cheese and carne asada. Fine because we were hungry. Probably wouldn’t have rung bells if we weren’t starved. Chips – you get a basket of chips with paprika or chili powder on them. They are $1.25 and you don’t get anything with them. Don’t get me wrong, they have a salsa bar but they only had tiny little cups- like 2tsp – to put salsa in and wouldn’t give us anything bigger. Super lame, that. As far as the actual salsas- the pico was the best thing about this dinner. Jalapeños were tiny- good knife skills- so you got that yummy fresh pop of hot without it being overwhelming. The ancho chili salsa is good, my wife said the green one was good. The carrots looked gross, I didn’t get any. The cabbage was diced, which I thought was weird. It was also in a container filled to the brim with water. Maybe to keep the cabbage fresh but anything I put cabbage on (how I usually like my tacos) tasted predominantly like water. Not good. No fountain drinks, you buy by the can (or bottle for water) and drink it from the can/bottle. We didn’t have any beer. Murals were beautiful, the rest of the decor was dated and uncomfortable.

Azuls Taco House – Menu with Prices – 1142 Edgewater St NW, Salem

Very underwhelming. I wouldnt call these authentic, only because I spend a great deal of time in Mexico (about every 6 weeks) and they arent even close. I could see how those who arent familer would call these “street tacos”. I Ordered the shrimp tacos. Tortilla is great and shrimp were cooked nice but wasnt very good. The shrimp is cooked in a style that I would put on a Po’boy, not in a taco. Cabbage “filler” needs some flavor, specifically a little cilantro and onions, maybe a sauce in with it. It had diced tomato that didnt add flavor and were mushy. Didn’t care for chipotle aioli sauce that came on shrimp. Ordered a side of chips and salsa and were served a tiny side of completly stale tostitos style chips and a cilantro tasting salsa that wasnt very good either. We thought it was a free sample till we realized that was the chip order. I would say slightly embarrassed that is what they are offering. I appreciate what they’re attempting but I have had better at various taco trucks around town.

Taqueria La Fogata – Menu with Prices – 4623 S 33rd St, Omaha

This place is next door to Donohue’s Pub on L street. I will give this place 3 stars because the service was fast and the food was cheap. The menu is simple: tacos, tortas, burritos, and quesadillas. Meat choices include: Carne Asada Al Pastor Lengua Chorizo Tripe Barbacoa They offer $1 tacos on Thursdays after 5 pm only. The interior is sort of dated and even a little dirty. There are quite a few tables throughout. I know, these can sometimes be the really good places, right? However, the food was only OK. I ordered carne asada and al pastor tacos. The tacos are built with two street taco-sized corn tortillas, meat, cilantro, onions. They come with lime and salsa (red or green). The green (avocado) salsa is actually spicier than the red, which is not common. Overall, stop in on Thursday after 5 pm if you are in the area or next door at the pub. Otherwise, I’d make the trip to Taqueria Tijuana for tacos.

Tacosway Fusion & Street Tacos – Menu with Prices – 12800 Garden Grove Blvd unit b, Garden Grove

These are street tacos done right. I was looking for a place close to my work and I thought, what the hell. So I went and tried it, what a surprise. These tacos would kill anywhere in LA. The place is tucked in a tiny strip mall. And when I say tiny I mean if you blink or sneeze when you’re driving by you’ll miss it. As it is you might miss it anyway. Look hard cause these are some of the best tacos you’ll ever have. They make aguas frescas too, so they have the bona fides. The jalapeño salsa has just the right amount of kick and it’s packed with flavor. But you’re not coming here for salsa, you’re coming here for tacos. Carne asada, al pastor, carnitas, are all here and they’re delicious. The al pastor has nice heat. The carnitas are tender, and the asada has a few crunchy bits that give the meat that extra flavor. For the intrepid out there they have lengua, that’s tongue in case you’re interested, and they have a Korean BBQ taco that even Roy Choi would love. They have tortas (haven’t tried them) and fish tacos too. Prices are way reasonable like street tacos should be. Don’t worry if you forget your cash, they take ApplePay. Just don’t forget your iPhone. The decor is bland but the pictures on the walls make for a good laugh. This isn’t fine dining but worth the visit and the tacos.

Aloha Tortilla Factory & Cafe – Menu with Prices – 1 Aloha Tower Dr, Honolulu

Almost a bit embarrassed to say this…but guess where I had my very first authentic taco?! Well I’ll give you a huge hint, It was here ? Well of course this place puts Taco Bell to shame. This is where all the real tacos are at! I have always wanted to try this place out, most especially because it is right on campus (I am an HPU student). FOOD: blownnn blown blown away. I ordered the 3 tacos plate that comes with the meat of the day & my choice of side (brownie), and paired it with an unsweetened mango tea. Yum yum yummmmm! The meat of the day was chicken & carne asada. I chose one chicken and two carne asada. The chicken taco was delish…but wow did the carne asada reallllllyyyy take me away. I also love that the tacos were wrapped, it made eating the tacos easier and less messy. SERVICE: Being that the food is made fresh and this place is run by two people, I believe one was the cook, it was a bit of a wait. I maybe waited 10-15 minutes…but it was well worth it. The people who run this place are so very friendly as well. There are a few shaded tables outside ? I already can’t wait to eat here again.

The Seafood Company – Menu with Prices – 4775 E Kings Canyon Rd, Fresno

We found out about this place because they are on the news and we decided to drive from out of town to try. The food looked good and We like to try new places. The reviews on here are really really good. So maybe we were expecting some out of this world seafood. We got a little of everything We ordered shrimp tacos, they were out of the crab tostada so we got the ceviche tostada ,fried shrimp, fish and chips, a carne asada burrito and a burger with Fries ….I never had shrimp tacos quite like these. The shrimp was fried and chopped up into small tiny pieces on two tortillas it came with pico on the side and that’s it! Very plain in my opinion could have used some cabbage some sauce or salsa and a piece of lemon. The shrimp ceviche was ok. The burger was big and came with good fries my son ate it all. The fish has a good spicy taste but had some bones still In it. My mom ordered 1/2 pound of fried shrimp she had a choice from the small medium or large. She went with the medium, but the shrimp was pretty small came with veins but we didn’t care we still ate it lol. None of the seafood came out with lemon so maybe you have to ask for it. The carne asada burrito was ok. We all agreed the best thing we liked was that it was inexpensive. We left pretty happy about that! Overall we enjoyed a inexpensive meal. They also have a fish market counter and a very nice young lady attending the counter.

Señor Taco – Menu with Prices – 1929 North Power Road #, 105 # 105, Mesa

Senor Taco is a taste-better alternative to the world of Filiberto’s and all the knockoffs. That single statement sums up the Senor Taco food line up, monster entrees and decent pricing. What you will find are burritos, tacos and other items that compare reasonably to Filiberto’s but are both better tasting and somewhat unique. The first time guest should try the carne asada burrito which is a strong item. People who are hungry could try the California Surfin burrito- a massive entree with carne asada, shrimp and French fries in a burrito wrap. Crazy fun and tasty. For those who can eat an entire cow in one sitting, I dare you to try to finish off a Senor Burrito. This double wrapped carne asada burrito with potatoes and lots of other goodies has got to be at least 2 lbs of shear burrito glory. Not for the weak. The chips are tasty, and the salsa bar is very good, well kept and fresh. The flavors are a bit spicier than the other fast food Mexican chains, but they are just perfect. I love the medium red salsa. Prices are reasonable, with most burritos staying between 5-8 dollars, but the monster teo I mentioned above range all the way to $10, which is still a great deal if you consider the humungous volume for those items. The staff is quick and polite, and your order will be ready pretty fast. Everything is made to order so it could be 5 min for some things but you’ll be eating in no time. This place is the best fast food Mexican available.

Taqueria El Nuevo Perico #2 – Menu with Prices – 3702 E Chapman Ave, Orange

This taqueria is definitely delicious and authentic. The Carne Asada taco was very juicy and well seasoned and they use flour tortillas. The street tacos come with cilantro and onion on top with a side of grilled onion and radishes. I also bought the taco combo with carne asada (picture) which comes with rice, beans, and the onions. The Al Pastor taco (in the picture) was really tasty and juicy. The best part of this restaurant is that none of the meats were dry, but they’re a bit overpriced. However, the tacos are a bit larger than small corn tortilla tacos. There are definitely tastier tacos for cheaper if you’re willing to drive further out of Orange, but for a local, fast service taco, this is an excellent choice. There is also a lot of seating here and the place is large and clean, including a restroom.

Tacos El Cuate De Obregon – Menu with Prices – 4817 S 12th Ave, Tucson

What a gem this taco truck is. We hit it up before heading out to Beerfest in Tempe. I can only speak to the Sonoran dogs and the carne asada, but WOW WOW wow… wow.. ok. The Sonoran dogs are really great! I have had sonoran dogs from BK, El Guero, Karamelo King, etc. Their Sonoran dogs are just as good, if not better. They also include a bacon wrapped cheese filled pepper with the dogs… those are pretty fantastic as well. The carne asada I ordered came in two forms… tacos and a caramello. I think I was hungry that day. The carne asada is legit here, and believe me, I order carne asada from every Mexican place I hit up. I just have to say, if you happen to be driving by and wanting some good taco truck food, don’t pass this one up. Oh, I am pretty sure it is cash only as well.

Fonzi’s tacos – Menu with Prices – 891-839 H St, Modesto

I was in the mood for some good tacos and I saw that the reviews for this place were great. I ordered: one asada taco, one pastor taco, two chicken tacos, and one shrimp taco. I also got a nacho supreme? The nacho chips were stale and salty, I got asada for the meat because I was told it’s their more popular meat, and it was very salty. My daughter also found a hair in the nachos. As for the tacos, as stated before, the asada was salty, and the chicken was bland. My daughter wanted to try a shrimp taco, and it was too spicy for her to eat. I gave them three stars because the place is very clean and the prices are decent, but I’m not sure if I’ll be returning…

La Parrilla Mission Taqueria – Menu with Prices – 7372 Mission Boulevard Suite 104, Riverside

The parking lot looked busy, so we decided to give it a try. The staff was friendly – they all looked very busy. I ordered a taco combination plate. It said 2 tacos, beans and chips. Mine came with rice, which I preferred. My husband ordered the chili rellano combination plate. Both came with a soft drink. I ordered a carne asada burrito to go. The server brought us a variety of salsas and chips. A red tomato salsa, a tomatillo salsa(best flavor), an enchilada type sauce and another yellow green salsa. These need work. They need some heat, salt – something’s missing. The server checked on us and I asked if we could get our sodas and then she additionally checked on us 2x more while we waited for our food. The chili rellano plate came first. The cheese was not melted on the inside, the server told us it’s because it’s queso Fresca. Didn’t matter because it still was cold inside. The homemade tortillas are yummy! Rice and beans were ok. Nothing exciting – seem to be missing something. My food still hadn’t come, so I asked when it was ready could I just get it to go, they said sure. Called me over to get it at the counter and I reminded them about my “to go” burrito. I sat back down and waited for it to be made. They did not offer and salsa to go which is ok since I didn’t care for it anyway. I tried my tacos once I got home. The meat needs seasoning. They definitely needed salsa. My son had the burrito- he said the beans need help and the meat needs seasoning too. He was bummed we didn’t get salsa. All in all, I wanted to love this place. Maybe I’ll give them a few months and try later. I’m giving 3 stars because they were trying hard.

Pinch a Taco 2 – Menu with Prices – 5005 S MacDill Ave, Tampa

I was on this side of the Bay and came here on a whim for lunch. I grew up in Southern California, where burritos and tacos are abundant. It’s simple, flavorful, quick, and delicious and cheap. After living in Florida for 6 years I’ve pretty much given up on Mexican food… until now! The menu is simple. A few meats to choose from and you pick your delivery method (taco, burrito, torta etc. My first time here I had 5 tacos, a variety of carne asada, pastor, pollo asado, and shrimp. All 5 were magnificent. The meat was fresh and flavorful, served on a corn tortilla (flour is available too), with onions and cilantro. I got them to go and got both red and green salsa. After one bite I knew I finally found a taco shop. A few weeks later I had a carne asada burrito. It was. A similar experience as far as nostalgia. Beans, meat, guacamole, pico de gallo, and a little lettuce. I think I’d prefer tacos next time, but the burrito was amazing none the less. Both times I washed my meal down with a large horchata. It’s a sweet cold cinnamon rice drink. Trust me, you can’t go wrong. I’ll definitely be back soon, and looking forward to trying their ceviche.

Valerie’s Taco Stand – Menu with Prices – 2213 El Camino Real suite d, Oceanside

We came to visit our friends in Oceanside for 3 days, and ended up coming to Valeries twice, because it was that good! My first visit, I had initially ordered the al pastor and the Diablo, decided last minute that I wanted to try the carne asada (not sure if this is north county thing, but certain tacos came with whole beans?). I added the carne asada and repeated I wanted no beans, it somehow became two extra carne asada tacos. I had not realized I paid for 4 tacos…oh well, I was a trooper and ate all 4 (my friends offered no help as they were full off two tacos each and wanted to see my attempt). The fullness pain hit after and I hated myself, but the tacos were so good! No regrets! The tacos are a bit more on the expensive side but they are massive and the tortilla is bigger than your street tacos. This tortilla tasted like their homemade, a mixture of corn and flour perhaps, and tasted like perfection, I’ve never been more impressed with a tortilla as I was with Valeries. The al pastor was the best of the bunch, great flavors and has a delicious smokiness. The carne asada were over cooked so it was too chewy, but the flavors were great too. I did not enjoy the Diablo as much as the breading of the shrimps and the toppings overshadowed the shrimp and the breading was a big mushy. I think it would have been better if the shrimps were grilled. The place is super clean and the salsa bar is delicious as well. They had the light orange creamy salsa which is the spiciest one there (maybe Serrano peppers based), had major heat but such great flavors that I kept dousing it on. We came back in he next day after having tacos at another spot since they ran out of elotes the day before. I ordered another al pastor taco while my friends had the elotes.
